Snow and Ice Removal

Snow and ice removal is an annoying and dangerous task that many homeowners dread tackling. Most people don’t want to clear their driveways, let alone grab a ladder and clear the snow from their roof. But ignoring the chore can damage your roof and even put you in danger.

At Schmidt Roofing, we don’t just build and repair roofs, we also help with their winter maintenance routines, too. After a big storm in the midwest, this always includes snow and ice removal.

Too Much of a Good Thing

Unless you dread the winter altogether, the first snow is always nice to look at. But as time goes by, it becomes a chore to continuously clean up and remove.

While snow and ice are nice to look at, they’re also very heavy. A single cubic foot of snow can weigh up to 20 pounds. Combine that with heavy amounts of ice, pile it all on top of your roof and the weight can build up quickly.

When excessive amounts of snow and ice are allowed to build up on roofs and gutters, it can damage your shingles, gutters and more. In the worst case scenarios, weakened roofs that have too much snow and ice accumulation can even collapse.

Icicles are also something that you literally don’t want hanging around, as they can fall and harm anyone who is standing directly underneath them.
